Kendra Sheetz Central Ohio Punk Rock and self-proclaimed “Swemo” Yard Sign has released his album, an EP entitled The Midwest Midlife Meltdowns. The 6 track album is out now via Punkerton Records and features the single “HLP U OUT” which combines the upbeat tempo of Punk Rock with Folk sensibilities and even adds a kazoo for good measure! The album was self-produced and almost entirely conceived, written, and recorded over the course of a long weekend in late 2022.
Scott Marks, the brain behind Yard Signs, had the following to say about the new release:
“The single is something I had been working on for a while, but I didn’t finish until I literally started recording the drum tracks. Outside of half of a song and a little piano jingle, the entire EP was basically written and recorded in one manic blast of inspiration. I’ve been playing live a lot lately and, as everyone who has come to a show knows, the kazoo is a huge part of the Yard Sign experience. This was the first record where I really made sure to incorporate the kazoo as a lead instrument, which I don’t know I’ve heard too much on record before. This EP is pure Yard Sign, for better or worse!”
